THE PRENTICE DIFFERENCE

SCIENCE & SCIENCE LAB

The Prentice School offers Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) curriculum.

Grades 1 - 5, students attend Elementary Science and engage in frequent hands-on science experiments and labs to promote active learning.  Students are exposed to scientific language and encouraged to view the world through a scientific lens.  It is a time for exploration, discovery and critical thinking. 

Grades 6 - 8, students attend Science Lab and study Earth Science, Life Science and Physical Science. Classrooms employ interactive science simulations, hands-on labs and activities.  The science instruction is enhanced by research projects and collaborative learning experiences. Explicit instruction and support in note-taking, organization, and study skills are integrated into daily lessons.
